I spent about a week with Louise and we stocked up so many videos, it was a very productive week. It was also fun. I loved spending time with Darcy and Matt. The entire time though, I kept thinking about Alfie and how much I missed. I kept reminding myself that I would see him soon.
I woke up early the day I had to leave. My train didn't leave until noon but I wanted to be there early. I had a lot of editing to do and thought I might as well do it at the station where I wouldn't have any distractions. I packed up my things and put on minimal makeup before walking into the living room. Louise and Darcy were up.
"Zoe!" Darcy said standing up and running towards me with gleaming eyes. She wrapped her tiny arms around my legs and I grinned.
"I have to Darcy," I said leaning down to kiss her on the nose, "I love you."
"Love you Zoemummychummy," she said with a giggle before walking over to the pile of her toys, I was quickly forgotten. I smiled and walked over to Louise who was already standing up.
"Bye Chummy," she said with a grin. "See you soon?" she asked pulling the blanket around her arms tighter.
"Definitely!" I said with a quickk hug. Louise normally didn't like hugs, but I always insisted on hugging her before I left her house. "Bye!" I called as I walked outside to my car. I got in and turned it on but it wouldn't start. I kept turning the key but nothing was happening.
Just my luck for my car to break down before I even started driving. I tried to think of the positives though, at least I wasn't driving.
I got back out of the car and awkwardly walked back up to Louise's. I rang the doorbell and put a smile on my face even though I dying inside. I told Louise what had happened and she said she would deal with it.
"All of it?" I asked worried. I didn't want this to be a hastle for Louise.
"Early Christmas present," she said with a grin. "I'll drive you to the station."
That's why I loved Louise, she was the best friend in the world.

Alfie had met me at the station and we got a taxi back to his house together. That night we played board games and watch Youtube videos. It was later now though and he was asleep beside me. I was resting my head on his chest and a memory suddenly came back to me.
It was the first time Alfie and I slept in the same bed.
I remember how excited I was and how amazing it have the comfort of someone beside you as you slept. The trust that required us to have was large, but we both had that amount of trust and more in each other.
I loved Alfie, I trusted him, I cared about him, and I trusted him.
